I stumbled upon a heronry just west of Frankfurt on the Main River. Then a Buzzard flew in and 15 herons when up together and alighted on the banks below.

There was a slight run off the Main into an narrow waterway, and this Cormorant popped up in amongst ducks and coots. This is probably as close as I've been to a Cormorant, but he was having success and caught a fish in this quickly moving current. Seen west of Frankfurt.

Sorry for the poor quality, but this was as close as I could get without wanting to scare it off. The first time I've been able to photograph him.
